The takeaway? While grapeseed oil will give you a higher dose of vitamin E, both types of oil boast health benefits, so there’s really no reason to play favorites (on this front, at least).
In fact, a 2014 study published in Lipids in Health and Disease concluded that the monounsaturated fat found in olive oil, specifically, contributed to “an overall risk reduction of all-cause mortality (11 percent), cardiovascular mortality (12 percent), cardiovascular events (9 percent), and stroke (17 percent).” As for grapeseed oil, this 2010 study, published in PLoS Medicine, concluded that replacing saturated fats with the polyunsaturated fats found in seed oil is associated with an “overall pooled risk reduction” of 19 percent with regard to coronary heart disease. Still, it’s fair to say that olive oil and grapeseed oil are neck and neck when it comes to health benefits-namely because research suggests that both poly and monounsaturated fats, unlike saturated fats, are thought to significantly reduce the risk of heart disease. Grapeseed oil also contains more vitamin E than olive oil-providing 27 percent of the Daily Value, as compared to the 13 percent found in olive oil. The main distinction between the two is that grapeseed oil is rich in polyunsaturated fats, whereas olive oil contains a higher amount of monounsaturated fats. Grapeseed and olive oil have very similar nutrient profiles, including identical fat and calorie content (13.5 grams of fat and 120 calories per tablespoon).
